Good Afternoon!

We celebrated our last day of the week with pajamas and fruit pizzas. Ms. Kim brought in blueberries, strawberries, nectarine, and shredded coconut. We spread on a layer of peanut butter, and our friends chose what they wanted on their pizzas. They turned out to be some colorful creations! They exclaimed at how yummy it was.

Today, we started our first indoor plantings for the garden.  It was time to plant tomato seeds and we each got to choose an heirloom variety to plant.  We had many colors, sizes, and shapes to pick from.  We could pick large, medium, small or pear shaped.  We also could pick purple, pink, orange yellow, red,  bi-colored and even striped.  After we picked what kind we wanted to plant we used our finger to poke holes in the soil that filled our planting tray.  We carefully placed a seed in each hole and then covered them all with soil.  We will watch our plants grow in the science center before transferring them outside into the green house.  Please bring clean half gallon milk paper cartons for transplanting the tomato plants.

Gardening tip for planting tomatoes from seed: Give your plants a boost by transplanting them after they get their first true leaves.  Plant them deep in their new container of soil covering the plant all the way up to the leaves so that the stem in buried.  Tomato plants can grow roots from their stems, so this method will  improve their root system very quickly, and you will see a massive growth spirt in your plant.
